Topuria disappointed in Pimblett performance; Prochazka reflects on loss

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's recent fight performance against Michael Gaethje, saying he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize the extent. Topuria also stated that if he moves to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he won't be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending at 145 pounds. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka revealed he can't let go of his recent loss even after his child's birth, claiming he was only at 40-50% capacity after injury and fought in "sparring mode," expecting the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering to give him a "25-minute striking masterclass." The UFC announced several new matchups including a difficult opponent for Cory Sandhagen.
